This is a short video describing how to "flash" the codes out of your late model Dodge, Chrysler or Jeep. I could leave a lengthy list of what vehicles this works on but it is easier to say this doesn't work on all models and the easiest way to find out is to try it.

    I have an 03 dakota. Did it your way got nothing. Then did it again. Just stuck in the key turned it to RUN but did not start it. The check engine light flashed 10 or 11 times but produced no code.

    Is this on new Chryslers as well ?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard E says:

    Pre-95, same procedure, count flashes of MIL. Last code will always be 5-5. Great feature, typical Chrysler "Extra Care in Engineering".

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Sokolski says:

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Norbert Lazarus says:

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! strife01104 says:

    No code showed up but DONE did. Also noticed I had a burnt out brake light but do not know if that would cause my dash lights to flicker

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars raymond perrault says:

    On my 2005 grand caravan, all i have to do is (with no keys in ignition) hold down the trip reset button until i see "SoF 6.3" (or something like that, its always SoF followed by some number), then let go of the button. Any codes will flash and all gauges will start to freak out and all idiot lights will flash. This will cure your speedometer problem if the needle ends up on the wrong side of the peg.

    I tried this on my beautiful '99 Chrysler LHS and it worked. Thanks for the tip.

    Just take it to O'Reilly's or Autozone and they'll check it out for you for FREE and Print out a report. And since you're there, they can provide an estimate for parts if they have/sell them.🙂

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RCWorks says:

    I had a car come in to my bay. The work order said read code only so it's a minimum ticket the customer does not want it diagnosed. I go to his truck with nothing more than pen and paper between jobs. I got in read and recorded the codes then cleared them. After that I turned in the work order to the office completed. I didn't know the customer was watching. He gets all hot about where was the scan tool. I tell him just to retrieve codes I don't need one. I did give the code definitions with the codes.

    He drives off the light returns and h's all mad… reading and clearing the codes does not fix the truck. He was looking for the minimum charge of half an hour… Not a repair.

    He comes to the realization his truck is not a 64 chevy.

    ok friend i have jeep liberty 2007 and i dont have a scan tool i have check engine light but i cant get the code even i do that ? how can i get a code please ??

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DIY MISFIT mechanic says:

    How to get the code/s for Chrysler 1983-1995 vehicles:

    Within a period of 5 seconds, cycle the ignition key
    ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON.

    1. Count the number of time the MIL (check engine lamp)
    on the instrument panel flashes on and off. The number
    of flashes represents the trouble code. There is a short
    pause between the flashes representing the 1st and 2nd
    digits of the code. Longer pauses are used to separate
    individual 2-digit trouble code.

    An example of a flashed DTC is as follows:

    -Lamp flashes 4 times, pauses, then flashes 6 more times.

    This denotes a DTC number 46.
    -Lamp flashes 5 times, pauses, then flashes 5 more times.

    This indicates a DTC number 55.
    DTC 55 will always be the last code to be displayed.

    thank you…

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mman454 says:

    Just a note, this method won't display all codes. ie. Transmission or other manufacturer codes. Pretty much anything that your actron scanner cant pull, this trick wont work with, at least in my experience.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pro.Grade.Tool.Reviews says:

    Another cool dodge etc trick I believe some 2007 up to 2012 I believe double click and hold down the unlock button and your front windows will go down

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John 1122 says:

    i'm a Chrysler tech and this is still a feature on some 2015 Chrysler products like the Jeep Patriot/Compass/Wrangler, Caravan/Town&Country and any Chrysler products using the old style EVIC. It dosen't seem to work on new generation of instrument cluster or cars and truck equip with with a FOBIK (push to start ignition)

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ze Panther says:

    Does it matter what year?
